Question warped front wheel hub?

Hi,

The front brakes of my 911 2.4S showed symptoms of warped rotors. Strange because they were installed not long ago by th ePO. However after measuring the run out of the rotors (0.2 mm) I noticed that the front wheel hub has also a run out on exactly the same spot. So it looks like the rotors are not warped but the hubs. I suspected the wheel bearings so I changed both bearings for new ones. To my surprise the runout was exactly on the same spot. Is this normal. What is here going on?

It is possible that the hub was slightly bent from a previous accident. Replace the hub and check run out again- .001-.002 thousandths of an inch is acceptable
Take a good look at the strut and spindle too- there may be signs of damage there- this would not account for the run out, but we've seen some of these cracked or the tube bent
